That's a good point, I didn't think about that. Now that I'm thinking about it, you guys didn't do a lot of anime-ish items. And that's probably a good thing =O

I love the dragon on the shade <3

Well all sort of Japanese stuff appears in anime obviously so I personally don't think it matters. The items we got are good either way. Anime related or not.

The way we see it, if you like anime, you'll probably like traditional Japanese stuff, but if you don't like anime, that doesn't mean you can't like traditional Japanese stuff anyway.

Yuki 03-18-2011 04:52 PM

Exactly. So all items are pretty much perfect.

I never really thought pocky was an "anime" thing (I actually don't recall a time where I've even seen pocky in an anime and I've watched a LOT of anime series). I always assumed pocky was just a popular treat in Japan.

I have to admit I haven't seen them in awfully a lot of anime either. Watches LOTS as well. I can name one, Gravitation. And that's it.

Fenris 03-18-2011 05:03 PM

I think its more people relate it to anime a lot, which was my reasoning. i was going for mainly traditional japan ^^

I can't remember all the scenes from Gravitation, it was several years ago that I watched it. @_@

The only series I would guess that would mention pocky in it would be Axis Powers: Hetalia because of the Japan character. Pretty much the series is filled with stereotypes left and right about each of the countries, so I could see them using pocky for Japan at some point (as far as I know though, it's never happened).

@Fenris:
That's. . . kind of weird, lol. I don't get how they'd think a candy relates back to anime. XD;

Because they're sold in the same places in the US. You get the image of a shop full of DVDs, figurines, and Pocky.

Yuki 03-18-2011 05:10 PM

It has been over 10 years since I was in the US so I have no idea...

If you're referring to "anime shops", I wouldn't know. We don't have any anime shops what so ever around here. The best we've got are some manga volume that Barns and Noble may or may not sell.

The next closest to me would be another book store that's an hour away and has a bigger selection in manga and some merchandise. But that's it. I've always heard friends who live out in the west of America mention about their anime channels or their awesome anime shops and I'd just be all, "fffff, lucky. orz;;;"

*Jumps into conversation* I just like how at work we sell a small box of Pocky and it fits into my pocket easy, so I have a sweet snack while working.

Aaawe, so cuuute. Ever heard of Men's Pocky? xD

And that was smart, to get awya from the stereotype. C:
